RAW SOURCING

In Bangladesh, companies involved in raw material sourcing are predominantly traders or sourcing agents. Their primary function is to identify, procure, and supply raw materials to various manufacturing industries, most notably the ready-made garment (RMG) sector, but also leather, jute, and other sectors.

These entities generally do not own manufacturing facilities themselves. Instead, they act as intermediaries, managing supply chains, logistics, and quality control to connect manufacturers with suitable raw material suppliers, both domestic and international.

However, it is also common for large manufacturing groups or factories to have internal sourcing departments or dedicated subsidiary companies that handle their raw material procurement. These internal units might operate similarly to independent traders but primarily serve the parent factory's needs. Therefore, while a standalone "raw sourcing company" is typically a trader, some factories also engage in direct raw material sourcing or operate trading divisions.

In essence, a raw sourcing company in Bangladesh primarily operates as a trader or sourcing agent.
